IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE DONT READ THIS POST
Joker in this movie hires 4 men to rob a bank for him, then goes on along for the ride in cognito, and has them kill eachother for a larger cut. Then he kills the last surviving one by a fucking bus crashing thru the bank. Then he kills the bus driver.
He then tricks all of the mob into helping him fuck shit up in gotham to find batman. Wanting half of their money that he stole...
then...
he carves up the ghetto mobster...
has the men that he helped get into that place kill eachother in turn for joining jokers crew with a pool stick.
throws rachel off a balcony rather than fall in love with her (vicki vale)
gets captured on purpose
puts a bomb in one of his goons to blow up the police station to escape
Tortures a fake batman and then kills him, paints his face, and stabs a joker card into his chest, hangs him from a noose and has him smashed into the window of the DAs office...then shows the videotape terrorist style to the news channels
ties up the chinese accountant and burns him alive on top of the mob's money that he also burns, right before he has the russian mobster cut up into pieces and fed to his own dogs.
Tries to get the entire city of gotham to murder the guy who's about to reveal batmans identity
blows up a fucking hospital
kills the commisioner of the police with the classic acid in a glass
dresses up like a police officer to try to kill the mayor
blows up a judge
and etc.
and he does all of this to turn harvey evil and make him a villain in order to ruin gotham for the fuck of it...no real motive besides chaos.
oh yeah, and he slams a guys head onto a pencil.
that's just the physical things he does, there's also the psychological...
I'll take that over shocking someone to death with a pee wee herman buzzer.
Though yes, the atmosphere was darker in the burton films, but that's just to make up for the lack of darkness in the actual story, events, and plot. The dark knight is way darker, psychologically.
Yeah these movies are grounded in realism but they are still based off a comic book. The thing with the foot in begins isn't any more unbelievable or silly than the fucking Bat Shark Repelant of the 60s show or anything burton did in Batman Returns....(penguins carrying bombs....)
please.
